Hawaiian Boy Name

Hi Everyone,

I'm due in November and my husband is dead set on Dean for a first name but wants a Hawaiian middle name to honor his mother's heritage. Haven't found anything good yet, any suggestions? If we were having a girl, we would be set on a name but for some reason its hard to name our boy!

    I think this sounds like it's all about your DH! HE is set on Dean as a FN and HE wants a Hawaiian MN? Do you not get a say?

    I'm pretty passive about naming our little one so Dean is ok with me and I do like the idea of throwing some of his heritage in the middle name. I do refer to DH as the Name Nazi though.

    I agree, Kai is my suggestion too. Dean Kai has a nice ring to it.

    We are looking for the same thing because our little one was conceived in Hawaii. I have a couple Hawaiian girls names that I love and would use for a middle name, but not a lot of boys ones.

    I am of Canadian Aboriginal decent and traditionally we have an elder family member or someone in the community name our children. I know a lot of people with a "legal" name and then a "Native" name. My husband and I are thinking of asking a Hawaiian elder we know to give our baby a name that we will use as a middle name. 

    Maybe your husband could ask his family for a name? Or you could wait until the baby is born and give it an Hawaiian name that suits the day it is born or the child itself?
